Here is small, but warm invitation to my favorite concert place of this year ...

21. of December, at day of winter solstice, you are welcome to Betlem Chapel, at Prague. This time, every year , I organize concert for all friends to celebrate and enjoy special time.
Time when year is closing down its darkest season and new cycle of Earth is coming up, closer to spring and lighter days...

Every year I try to make some small surprice for audience. Unexpected guests, or some of my hand made prints as gift. This year, one of specials, will be exhibition of my new crystal glass didgeridoo, which will be then beneficially sold and money will be given to aboriginal family.

Concert place is really one of my favorite. It´s natural reverb and musicality, is very inspirational. As well, history of place and Genius loci is something, which makes this evening for me and as well for audience concert place of year..

So, once again you are all very welcome to come together and listen...

Hello Friends....

A few years took me to put a bit my web page back in shape...

Being touring a lot in these years, and being announcing actual gigs more thru fb, caused slowing down movements at EN website..soon I will place at EN section as well EN translation of all gigs activities even local ones...

Last years I had been much more active at supporting my local art scene, working with national opera house, theaters, supporting small local festivals and local artists...

I think it has something to do with age. Slowly you realise, you wish to belong to some place and some community.
(I dont mean fb, I mean REAL friendship, which last as well when battery of you laptop go off..)
And this aspect became more intense as well in meaning that you want CONTRIBUTE to your home area..

My CZ page is all the time more than twice active but as well I feel to be again able to nourish with few stories my intnl friends who I miss a lot, and I see them all less then previously...

So I am sending greetings to all of You in didge circles in Usa, around Oregon didg area, but as well L.A. didge nation...Missing Melbourne didg crowd, Freemantle...
I am looking forward to go this summer to France and other places, wishing in future visit and play to all again..

This spring time I would like to invite all sound enthusiasts on our gigs in Wales UK, and as well on my intnl. workhop in Wales!!!!! - 3days retreat with accommodation and great chefcook where we every year in group about 10, go deeper in study of wonderfull instrument didgeridoo.

Tour - Our tour with project Rainbow Road - world largest symphonic gong (220cm!!!) and Navaho flutes together with didges... Acoustic evenings in Wales.. what a blessing to have such a chance.. I am really looking forward!!

This setup will be later this year 2018 as well touring in Central Europe - august and september 2018 with special guest from Australia - aboriginal artist Rachel Shield. If you like acoustic evenings at special ancient sites, dont miss it. Czech name of this tour is Vyprava 2018 and it will be covering most beautiful ancient places..

In June, there is newborn French didge festival!! Nomadidge.
If you like didg music and maybe you are open to do some learning as well, here is invitation to come and enjoy! It is second of three chances do get some clasess with me and experience together didg vibrations.

Third place I will teach and play this summer out of Czech country is gathering - Australienwochenende, Eisenbach, Germany.
Lovely community and great place, where you can meet many didge friends and legends of European didge history... (yes yes, we are all aging...)

In July I am visiting aboriginal community in Arnhem Land with special intention, I will write about later... but what I can say now - some rare instruments will be available form my collection in July.

...and there is a lot of more to write about...
I promise give you soon next part...
